Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. First, I thank Hon. Yusuf for introducing such an important Motion. When we take a look at the issue of national monuments in this country, Kamukunji Grounds holds significant historical value. When we take a look at Harry Thuku and those who fought for the Independence of this country, they played a significant role. Every country you go to in the world has a Tiananmen Square and all manner of sites that have been set aside to commemorate areas where those countries’ independence was fought for."}
